Rural health care in developing countries has been plagued by problems. China's economic development is the typical characteristic of the dual structure, and this determines that China's welfare system features are also dual structure. Compared with cities, with the lack of resources to support rural welfare system has not been effectively organized and built. In the field of health care in rural areas, practice proved the traditional rural cooperative system to be unsuccessful. rural residents paid expense to solve major health problems by themselves. This disturbed the daily lives of rural residents for long-term period.China's rural health care has made great achievements for the past time. But in the new environment it did not show great vitality. Since the economics reform in China, the inherent contradictions of traditional rural cooperative medical system gradually exposed in the new market environment, resulting in a low rate of coverage of traditional cooperative medical care system. In 2002, the Chinese Government decided to rebuild the rural cooperative medical care system, and make it cover all farmers in 2010 . In the pilot implementation of the new rural cooperative medical care system, the issue of sustainable development has also been put on the research agenda. This is also the theme of this paper.Firstly, I make the assumption on the nature of the new rural cooperative medical system and the scope of this research. Then, I give the theoretical explanation of how farmer to have decision-making behavior in use of theory of Repeat Game.In the new rural cooperative medical care system, farmer and government have a one-time Prisoner's Dilemma game, resulting balance difficult to achieve cooperation. However, in the repeat game, a balance of cooperation is possible to be achieved. And the result can be improved. But the result of cooperation balance is influenced by the discount rate, the issue of credibility and the impact of information. Solving these problems is conducive to ensure the sustainable development of the new rural cooperative medical system.Then, on the base of the theoretical analysis, I analyze the new rural cooperative medical insurance system in Shaanxi Province by the way of surveys and questionnaires. In term of research, drumbeating, publicity, expanding the coverage rate of benefit appropriately are needed to ensure the sustainable development.At the same time, some measure should be taken to strengthen the low-income farmers willness to join in the new rural cooperative medical system. And prevent it from becoming 'rich club', and ensures the system not to deviate from the original intention of national policy.Finally, the article gives some further discussions.
